Failed to decrypt the saved password

[amirhossein-deriv]

Describe the bug

We upgraded our pgAdmin to V9.3, now there are two kind of issues:

1. the saved password for one user gets error:

Failed to decrypt the saved password. Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xaf in position 1: invalid start byte

and

Failed to decrypt the saved password. Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte Oxd5 in position 0: invalid continuation byte

to solve this issue regarding our online research we find these links helpful and based on them we cleared the passwords for all connections and setup them.

2. We have the second issue that raised after the other one:

connection failed: connection to server at "xx.xx.xx.xx", port 5432 failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
